RULES. 

(Adopted  October  31,  1908.) 

RULES  GOVERNING  THE  ACTION  OF  ASSISTANT 
STATE  VETERINARIANS. 


Rule  1.  When  a case  of  supposed  contagious  or  infec- 
tious disease  among  domestic  animals  comes  to  the  knowl- 
edge of  an  Assistant  State  Veterinarian,  he  shall  at  once 
notify  the  State  Board  of  Live  Stock  Commissioners,  giv- 
ing the  location  of  the  animals  and  premises,  name  and 
postoffice  address  of  the  owner,  supposed  nature  of  the 
disease,  and  all  facts  in  his  possession  concerning  the 
case,  including  the  correspondence  in  relation  thereto  and 
the  substance  of  any  statements  made  to  him  in  connec- 
tion therewith.  The  secretary  shall  at  once  notify  the 
State  Veterinarian,  who  shall,  if  he  be  assured  that  the 
disease  is  one  which  under  the  law  the  board  is  required 
to  investigate,  make  such  investigation  or  order  the  same 
to  be  made  by  one  of  his  assistants.  And  if  the  disease 
is  found  to  be  a dangerously  contagious  or  a dangerously 
infectious  malady,  the  veterinarian  conducting  the  investi- 
gation shall  place  all  diseased  animals,  and  all  exposed 
animals,  together  with  the  premises  which  they  occupy, 
in  quarantine,  and  at  once  forward  a true  copy  of  the 
Notice  of  Quarantine,  with  his  endorsement  of  service 
thereon,  to  the  secretary  of  this  board,  together  with  an 
explicit  report  of  all  proceedings  in  the  case  and  any 
suggestions  for  future  proceedings  that  he  may  deem 
advisable. 

Every  quarantine  established  under  this  rule  will  re- 
main in  force  until  released  by  order  of  the  board. 

Rule  2.  When  detailed  to  make  an  investigation  as 
provided  in  rule  1,  the  veterinarian  shall,  without  unnec- 
essary delay,  proceed  to  the  locality  by  the  shortest  and 
most  direct  route  usually  traveled,  taking  with  him  a 
supply  of  blanks  that  he  may  have  occasion  to  use. 
Should  he  be  unable  to  respond  to  the  call,  he  will  so 
notify  the  State  Veterinarian  (by  wire,  if  the  case  seems 
urgent),  who  shall  thereupon  put  the  case  in  the  hands  of 
another  Assistant  State  Veterinarian. 

Upon  arriving  at  the  premises  the  veterinarian  will  ex- 
amine the  patient  and  make  his  diagnosis.  If  no  con- 


6 


tagious  or  infectious  disease  exists,  inform  the  owner 
as  to  the  nature  of  the  disease,  giving  him  such  gratui- 
tous advice  in  regard  to  treatment,  etc.,  as  may  seem 
proper,  and  promptly  report  his  findings  to  the  board. 

If  it  should  be  a case  of  glanders,  or  any  other  danger- 
ously contagious  or  dangerously  infectious  disease,  -the 
first  step  to  be  taken  is  to  place  the  diseased  animal  and 
all  exposed  animals,  and  the  premises,  in  quarantine, 
which  *n  all  cases  must  be  done  by  serving  upon  the 
owner  or  occupant  of  the  premises  a written  notice  pre- 
pared upon  blanks  furnished  by  the  board  for  that  pur- 
pose. The  law  provides  that  notice  of  quarantine  may 
be  given  by  leaving  with  the  owner  or  occupant  of  any 
premises  in  person,  or  delivering  to  any  member  of  his 
family,  or  any  employe  over  the  age  of  10  years  found 
on  the  premises  so  quarantined,  notice  thereof,  written  or 
printed,  or  partly  written  and  partly  printed,  and  at  the 
same  time  explaining  the  contents  thereof ; and  care  must 
be  taken  to  comply  in  every  particular  with  the  require- 
ments of  the  law  in  this  matter.  Before  delivering  the 
notice  to  the  owner  an  exact  copy  must  be  made,  upon 
the  back  of  which  the  veterinarian  will  certify  over  his 
signature  the  manner  in  which  it  has  been  served,  and 
forward  the  same  to  the  secretary  of  the  board,  with 
his  report  of  the  case,  which  must  always  be  made  out 
and  mailed  immediately.  Delay  in  making  reports  is  not 
only  annoying,  but  sometimes  gives  rise  to  complications 
which  are  not  easily  corrected.  Promptness  in  all  official 
duties  is  a virtue  that  will  be  highly  appreciated  by  the 
board. 

Rule  3.  In  cases  of  glanders  the  veterinarian  shall, 
after  service  of  notice  of  quarantine,  as  provided  in  rule 
2,  endeavor  to  agree  with  the  owner  Qf  the  diseased 
animal  or  animals  upon  a fair  market  valuation  of  the 
same,  not  exceeding  $100.00  on  each  animal.  This  limita- 
tion is  fixed  by  law  and  cannot  be  altered.  Explain  to 
the  owner  that  under  the  rules  of  the  board  he  will  be 
allowed  one-third  of  the  appraisement  as  compensation 
for  the  destruction  of  the  diseased  animal,  upon  receipt 
of  proof  of  such  destruction  and  of  the  burial,  burning  or 
tanking  of  the  carcass  and  the  disinfection  of  the  prem- 
ises in  accordance  with  the  directions  given  on  the  back 
of  the  Notice  of  Quarantine.  Blanks  for  making  this 
proof  (which  consists  of  the  affidavit  of  the  owner  and 
the  affidavits  of  two  disinterested  freeholders)  will  be 
mailed  him  by  the  secretary  upon  receipt  of  report. 
Attention  should  be  called  to  the  nature  of  the  proof  re- 
quired, so  that  the  owner  may  have  his  witnesses  present 
when  the  work  is  done.  If  an  appraisement  is  agreed 


7 


upon  with  the  owner,  it  then  becomes  his  duty  under  the 
law  to  cause  such  animal  or  animals  to  be  destroyed, 
the  alternative  being  to  hold  the  diseased  animal  and 
all  the  exposed  animals  in  close  quarantine.  No  attempt 
should  be  made  to  compel  the  destruction  of  any  animal, 
but  at  the  request  of  the  owner  the  veterinarian  may 
destrDy  the  animal,  acting  as  his  agent. 

If  an  appraisement  cannot  be  agreed  upon,  or  if  after 
appraisement  the  owner  refuses  to  allow  the  destruction 
of  the  diseased  animal,  he  should  be  notified  that  the  dis- 
eased animal  and  all  exposed  animals  must  be  kept  in 
close  quarantine  pending  further  proceedings,  which,  under 
the  law',  may  be  the  appointment  of  a board  of  appraisers 
and  the  possible  destruction  of  the  diseased  animals  with- 
out any  compensation.  Notice  should  also  be  given  the 
owner  that  should  any  of  the  animals  die  in  quarantine 
or  be  killed  without  having  been  appraised,  no  compensa- 
tion will  be  allowed.  Such  compensation  is  only  paid 
for  animals’  that  are  diseased  with  glanders  that  are 
slaughtered  by  direction  of  the  board  in  accordance  with 
its  rules. 

Under  the  rules  of  the  board  no  compensation  is  paid 
for  the  destruction  of  any  animal  brought  into  this  State 
which  shall  develop  glanders  within  six  months  from 
the  date  of  importation,  unless  it  shall  be  shown  to  the 
satisfaction  of  the  board  that  the  disease  was  contracted 
within  this  State. 

• Rule  4.  The  establishment  of  a quarantine  means  that 
ncne  of  the  animals  included  in  such  quarantine,  either 
diseased  or  exposed,  shall  be  removed  from  the  quaran- 
tined premises,  or  be  permitted  to  leave  such  premises, 
nor  shall  any  other  animals  susceptible  to  the-  disease 
with  which  the  huarantined  animals  are  affected  or  to 
which  they  have  been  exposed,  be  brought  on  to  such 
quarantined  premises,  except  under  such  rules  and  regula- 
tions as  the  Board  of  Live  Stock  Commissioners  may  pre- 
scribe. 

Under  this  provision  of  the  law',  upon  recommendation 
of  the  veterinarian  in  charge,  written  permits  may  be 
issued  to  the  owners  of  quarantined  animals  exposed  to 
glanders,  under  which  such  quarantined  animals  may  be 
used  off  from  the  premises  of  the  owner,  subject  to  the 
following  conditions  : 

a.  The  animals  included  in  the  permit  must  not  be 
W'orked  with  nor  allow'ed  to  come  in  contact  with  other 
animals  of  the  equine  species  not  in  quarantine. 

b.  They  must  not  be  tied  to  trees  or  racks  or  posts 
used  as  public  hitching  places. 

c.  They  must  not  be  fed  nor  watered  in  troughs, 
buckets  or  other  receptacles  used  for  feeding  or  watering 
other  animals  of  the  equine  species. 


8 


d.  They  must  not  be  put  up  in  barns  or  stables  where 
other  animals  of  the  equine  species  are  kept. 

e.  They  must  be  examined  weekly  at  the  expense  of 
the  owner  by  a competent  veterinarian  named  in  the  per- 
mit, unless  in  the  opinion  of  the  veterinarian  recommend- 
ing- such  permit  such  examination  is  impracticable  and 
may  be  safely  dispensed  with,  in  which  case  he  shall  so 
state  in  his  report  and  recommend  that  the  weekly  ex- 
aminations be  waived,  giving-  his  reasons  for  such  recom- 
mendation. 

This  provision  should  be  brought  to  the  attention  of  the 
owner  of  the  quarantined  animals,  and  if  he  desires  to  use 
any  or  all  of  them  off  from  his  own  premises,  and  signifies 
his  willingness  to  comply  with  the  requirements  of  the 
rules,  and  no  special  reason  exists  for  not  granting  a 
permit,  the  veterinarian  should  embody  in  his  report  of 
the  case  a recommendation  that  such  permit  be  granted 
him  and  name  a competent  veterinarian  to  make  the 
weekly  examinations.  The  owner  should  understand  that 
the  permit  is  issued  as  a favor  to  him,  and  that  without 
it  he  would  not  be  permitted  to  move  his  quarantined  ani- 
mals from  his  premises  for  any  purpose. 

The  veterinarian  who  is  to  conduct  the  weekly  examina- 
tions should  be  informed  that  the  examinations  are  to  be 
made  at  the  expense  of  the  owner  and  that  weekly  re- 
ports of  the  condition  of  the  animals  must  be  mailed 
promptly  to  the  board  at  Springfield,  and  that  the  veterin- 
arian in  charge  must  be  notified  immediately  if  clinical 
symptoms  of  glanders  appear.  He  should  also  understand 
that  his  appointment  confers  no  authority  upon  him  be-’ 
yond  the  duty  of  making  the  weekly  examinations  and 
reporting  the  results  promptly. 

Permits  may  also  be  issued  for  the  removal  of  quaran- 
tined animals  to  other  premises,  where  they  will  be  quar- 
antined, upon  the  recommendation  of  the  State  Veterinar- 
ian or  the  veterinarian  in  charge  of  the  case. 

Rule  5.  In  cases  of  anthrax,  black  leg  and  hemorrhagic 
septicemia,  after  the  establishment  of  quarantine  the 
owner  should  be  instructed  to  burn  all  carcasses,  or  bury 
them  at  least  six  feet  below  the  surface  of  the  ground, 
well  covered  with  quick  lime.  So  far  as  possible  the  car- 
casses should  be  disposed  of  where  they  fall,  but  should 
it  be  absolutely  necessary  to  move  any  carcass  it  should 
be  loaded  on  a sled  with  a tight  board  bottom,  which 
should  afterwards  be  thoroughly  disinfected,  and  the  track 
over  which  the  sled  was  drawn  should  be  covered  with 
a thick  layer  of  straw,  which  should  be  burned.  The 
surface  of  the  ground  where  the  carcass  lay  should  be 
scraped  to  a depth  of  several  inches,  if  near  the  pit  where 
the  carcass  is  to  be  buried,  and  the  scrapings  thrown  in 


9 


with  the  carcass ; or  the  ground  where  the  carcass  lay 
may  be  covered  with  straw  and  the  straw  burned. 

In  cases  where  animals  die  in  barns  or  other  buildings, 
after  the  removal  of  the  carcasses  all  loose  litter  and  ma- 
nure should  be  carefully  removed  and  burned  and  the 
interior  of  the  buildings  should  be  thoroughly  disinfected. 

Under  no  circumstances  should  the  hide  be  allowed  to 
be  removed  from  the  carcass  of  an  animal  dying  of  an- 
thrax. 

Rule  6.  In  cases  of  Texas  fever,  after  placing  all  dis- 
eased and  exposed  animals  in  quarantine,  get  as  com- 
plete a history  of  the  outbreak  as  can  be  obtained  in  the 
locality.  Ascertain  the  point  from  which  the  cattle  re- 
sponsible for  the  outbreak  were  brought ; date  of  ship- 
ment from  point  of  origin  ; route  over  which  they  came  ; 
whether  they  w'ere  unloaded  in  transit,  and  if  so,  at 
What  point,  and  date  of  such  unloading ; also  whether  they 
were  reloaded  into  the  same  cars  in  which  they  were 
originally  shipped;  date  of  arrival  at  destination-;  number 
and  initials  of  cars  in  which  they  were  shipped,  and  any 
other  information  that  may  be  of  value  in  tracing  the 
origin  of  the  infection. 

Rule  7.  In  default  of  any  appropriation  for  making 
investigations  of  reported  cases  of  tuberculosis,  work  in 
this  direction,  including  the  tuberculin  test,  can  only  be 
done  at  the  expense  of  the  owners. 

Rule  8.  Any  person  desiring  to  ship  any  animal  or  ani- 
mals from  this  State  to  another  state,  the  authorities  of 
which  require  health  certificates  to  accompany  such  ani- 
mals, may  call  upon  the  State  Veterinarian  or  any  Assist- 
ant State  Veterinarian,  and  request  him  to  make  such  in- 
spection. It  shall  thereupon  be  the  duty  of  the  veterin- 
arian applied  to,  to  at  once  make  such  inspection  as  may 
be  required  under  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  author- 
ities of  the  state  to  which  it  is  desired  to  ship  such  ani- 
mal or  animals,  and  to  certify  the  result  of  such  inspec- 
tion to  the  party  requesting  the  same,  and  to  transmit  a 
copy  thereof  to  the  secretary  of  this  board.  For  such 
services  the  veterinarian  shall  be  entitled  to  receive  from 
the  owner  the  same  compensation  as  is  allowed  him  by 
the  State  for  like  services,  together  with  his  necessary  ex- 
penses in  going  from  and  to  his  regular  place  of  business. 
In  no  case  shall  the  State  be  liable  for  the  cost  of  such 
services. 

Rule  9.  Assistant  State  Veterinarians  shall  be  entitled 
to  receive  for  their  services  while  engaged  in  the  per- 
formance of  any  public  service  to  which  they  are  assigned 
by  the  board  or  by  the  State  Veterinarian,  the  sum  of 


10 


$1.00  per  hour  for  parts  of  a day  less  than  eight  hours; 
but  in  no  case  shall  they  receive  more  than  $8.00  per  day 
for  their  services;  nor  shall  they  be,  permitted  to  make 
any  charge  nor  receive  any  compensation  from  a private 
individual  during-  the  time  they  are  actually  employed 
and  paid  by  the  State. 

Rule  10.  Whenever  it  shall  come  to  the  knowledge  of 
the  State  Veterinarian,  or  any  Assistant  State  Veterin- 
arian, that  animals  have  been  brought  into  his  locality 
from  a district  scheduled  against  by  proclamation  of  the 
Governor  restricting  the  movement  of  such  animals  from 
such  district  into  this  State,  or  from  one  point  to  another 
within  this  State,  in  violation  of  such  proclamation,  or 
of  the  movement  of  any  domestic  animals  within  the 
State  in  violation  of  any  quarantine,  or  of  any  regulation 
of  the  board,  he  shall  immediately  notify  the  secretary  of 
the  board  at  Springfield,  giving  him  full  information  in 
regard  to  the  matter. 

Rule  11.  Immediately  upon  the  completion  of  each 
investigation,  a full  and  complete  report  of  his  doings 
in  connection  with  the  case  shall  be  made  out  and  signed 
by  the  veterinarian  and  mailed  to  the  secretary  of  the 
board  at  Springfield.  The  report  shall  be  made  out  on 
the  blank  furnished  by  the  board  for  the  purpose  and 
shall  give  the  name  and  postoffice  address  of  the  owner 
of  the  animals,  plainly  written,  date  of  investigation  and 
location  of  premises.  The  report  must  be  accompanied 
by  an  exact  duplicate  of  any  notice  of  quarantine  served, 
with  endorsement  on  the  back  thereof  of  the  manner  and 
date  of  service,  and  all  correspondence  concerning  the 
case.  A statement  of  per  cliem  and  expenses  in  connection 
with  the  case,  and  receipts  for  -all  expenses  except  rail- 
road and  car  fare  should  also  be  sent  in  with  the  report, 
and  near  the  end  of  the  month  an  itemized  statement 
of  traveling  expenses  covering  the  whole  month,  on  the 
yellow  blank  furnished  for  the  purpose,  signed  by  the 
veterinarian,  must  be  sent  to  the  secretary,  to  be  attached 
to  the  voucher  to  be  presented  to  the  Governor  and  State 
Auditor.  A full  history  of  the  case  should  also  be  entered 
in  the  veterinarian’s  record  book  for  future  reference. 

If  the  report  contains  a recommendation  for  the  issu- 
ance of  a permit  for  the  use  of  quarantine  animals,  the 
name  of  the  veterinarian  who  is  to  conduct  the  weekly 
examinations  must  also  be  given. 

If  more  than  one  case  is  to  be  reported,  make  a separ- 
ate report  for  each,  using  a separate  blank.  Boarding 
stables  where  norses  belonging  to  different  owners  are 
kept,  may  be  included  under  one  quarantine,  notice  of 


11 


which  may  be  served  on  the  owner  of  the  barn  or  the 
person  in  charge,  and  a single  report  is  sufficient  in  such 
cases ; but  where  animals  occupying  different  premises 
are  included  in  the  same  investigation  they  must  be 
quarantined  separately  and  a separate  report  made  for 
each  of  the  several  premises. 


CLAIMS. 

Upon  receipt  of  the  report  of  an  inspector  of  this  board, 
of  the  condemnation  of  any  animal  affected  with  glanders, 
the  secretary  shall  mail  to  the  owner  of  such  animal  a 
blank  with  which  to  make  proof  of  his  claim  against  the 
State  arising  from  the  slaughter  of  such  animal,  which 
proof  shall  consist  of  his  affidavit  to  the  effect : 

1.  That  the  condemned  animal  has  been  destroyed, 
giving  date  of  destruction. 

2.  That  the  carcass  was  immediately  burned,  properly 
buried  or  consigned  to  the  rendering  tank,  giving  date 
upon  which  it  was  so  disposed  of. 

3.  That  the  premises  occupied  by  the  condemned  ani- 
mal and  all  things  with  which  it  had  come  in  contact 
while  diseased  and  in  his  possession,  had  been  thoroughly 
disinfected  in  accordance  with  the  instructions  contained 
in  the  notice  of  quarantine  served  upon  him,  giving  date 
of  such  disinfection. 

4.  That  the  animal  had  been  in  this  State,  at  least  six 
months  prior  to  the  development  of  the  disease. 

Which  affidavit  shall  be  supported  by  the  affidavits  of 
two  disinterested  freeholders  to  the  effect  that  the  state- 
ments set  forth  in  the  affidavit  of  the  owner  of  such  con- 
demned animal  are,  to  their  personal  and  individual 
knowledge,  true  in  every  respect. 

Upon  the  return  of  such  blank,  properly  executed,  it 
shall  be  placed  on  file  in  the  records  of  the  case,  and 
at  the  next  meeting  of  the  board  thereafter,  it  being 
satisfactory,  a voucher  for  the  amount  of  compensation 
clue  the  owner  will  be  approved. 

The  amount  to  be  paid  in  each  case  to  the  owner  of 
animals  slaughtered  that  are  affected  with  glanders,  shall 
be  one-third  of  the  agreed  fair  cash  market  value  (which 
fair  cash  market  value  shall  not  exceed  $100  per  head), 
or  in  case  a board  of  appraisers  is  appointed  by  this 
board,  one-third  of  the  valuation  fixed  by  said  appraisers, 
which  valuation  shall  not  exceed  $100  per  head:  Provided, 
that  no  compensation  shall  be  allowed  for  any  animal 
brought  into  this  State  which  shall  develop  the  disease 
within  six  months  from  the  date  of  importation,  unless  it 
shall  be  shown  to  the  satisfaction  of  this  board  that  the 
disease  was  contracted  within  this  State. 


PERMITS 


The  secretary  and  assistant  secretary  shall  have  au- 
thority to  issue  permits  and  releases  from  quarantine 
when  the  conditions  herein  provided  for  in  any  case  have 
been  complied  with. 

PERMITS  TO  USE  QUARANTINED  ANIMALS. 

Permits  for  the  use  of  animals  under  quarantine  on 
account  of  exposure  to  glanders,  or  any  other  contagious 
or  infectious  disease,  or  on  account  of  having  reacted 
to  the  mallein  test,  may  be  issued  on  the  recommendation 
of  the  State  Veterinarian  or  the  Assistant  State  Veter-

or  hand  dressing,  using  one  of  the  following  formulae 
approved  by  the  United  State  Bureau  of  Animal  Indus- 
try, to-wit : 

1.  The  lirne-and-sulphur  dip;  made  in  the  proportion 
of  twelve  pounds  of  unslaked  lime  and  twenty-four  pounds 
of  flowers  of  sulphur  to  one  hundred  gallons  of  water. 
Weigh  both  the  lime  and  the  sulphur.  Place  the  un- 
slaked lime  in  a mortar  box  or  some  suitable  vessel  and 
add  enough  water  to  slake  the  lime  and  form  a lime 
paste  or  lime  putty.  Sift  into  this  lime  paste  the  flowers 


of  sulphur,  and  stir  the  mixture  well.  To  make  one 
hundred,  gallons  of  the  dip,  place  the  sulphur-and-lime 
paste  in  a kettle  or  boiler  with  about  thirty  gallons  of 
.boiling  water  and  boil  the  mixture  for  two  hours  at  least, 
stirring  the  liquid  and  sediment ; add  enough  water  when 
necessary  to  maintain  the  quantity.  Draw  the  mixture 
and.  sedimdfrt  into  a large  tub  or  barrel  placed  near  the 
dipping  vat  and  provided  with  a bunghole  about  four 
inches  from  the  bottom,  and  allow  ample  time  to  settle 
— from  two  to  three  hours  or  more  if  necessary.  When, 
fully  settled,  draw  oft  the  clear  liquid  into  the  dipping 
vat  and  add  enough  warm  water  to  make  one  hundred 
gallons.  The  same  directions  apply  to  larger  quantities 
of  dip,  proportionate  amounts  of  ingredients  being  used. 

2.  The  tobaceo-and-sulphur  ' dip  ; made  with  sufficient 
extract  of  tobacco  or  nicotine  solution  to  give  a mixture 
containing  not  less  than  five  one-hundredths  of  one  per 
cent  of  nicotine  and  two  per  cent  flowers  of  sulphur. 

Or  other  formula  that  may  be  approved  by  this  board, 
until  they  are  pronounced  free  from  scabies  by  a com- 
petent veterinarian  recognized  by  this  board ; and  shall 
thoroughly  disinfect  the  infected  portions  of  such  prem- 
ises before  other  cattle  are  allowed  to  be  placed  thereon, 
in  the  following  manner : 

First  remove  ill  bedding  and  litter  from  stables,  man- 
gers, feed  boxes,  yards  and  pens  that  have  been  occupied 
by  scabby  cattle,  or  by  cattle  that  have  been  exposed  to 
the  infection,  and  destroy  the  same  by  burning ; then 
thoroughly  whitewash  all  woodwork  with  which  such 
cattle  may  have  come  in  contact,  and  sprinkle  the  floor 
or  ground  thickly  with  the  preparation  described  in  Rule 
four,  for  disinfecting  cars,  etc.  If  the  lime-and-sulphur 
dip  has  been  used  upon  the  cattle,  the  residue  can  be  used 
in  disinfecting  by  the  addition  of  crude  carbolic  acid  in 
the  proportion  of  one  gallon  of  the  acid  to  nineteen  gal- 
lons of  the  dip. 

These  regulations  shall  apply  to  feeding  stations,  load- 
ing pens  and  chutes  at  all  railroad  stations,  as  well  as 
to  the  premises  of  private  individuals.

mulae recommended  by  the  United  States  Bureau  of  Ani- 
mal Industry,  to-wit : 

1.  The  tobacco  and  sulphur  dip,  made  with  sufficient 
extract  of  tobacco  to  give  a mixture  containing  not  less 
than  five  one-hundredths  of  one  per  cent  of  nicotine,  and 
two  per  cent  flowers  of  sulphur. 

2.  The  lime  and  sulphur  dip,  made  with  eight  pounds 
of  unslaked  lime  and  twenty-five  pounds  of  flowers  of 
sulphur  to  one  hundred  gallons  of  water.  The  lime  and 
sulphur  should  be  boiled  together  for  not  less  than  two 
hours,  and  all  sediment  allowed  to  subside  before  the 
liquid  is  placed  in  the  dipping  vat. 

Or  other  formula  that  may  be  approved  by  this  board, 
until  they  are  pronounced  free  from  scabies  by  a compe- 


tent  veterinarian  recognized  by  this  board  ; and  shall

by  scabby  sheep,  or  by  sheep  that  have  been  exposed  to 
the  infection,  and  destroy  the  same  by  burning ; then 
thoroughly  whitewash  all  wood  work  with  which  such 
sheep  may  have  come  in  contact,  and  sprinkle  the  floor 
or  ground  thickly  with  the  preparation  described  in  Rule 
4,  for  disinfecting  cars,  etc.  If  the  lime  and  sulphur  dip 
has  been  used  upon  the  sheep,  the  residue  can  be  used  in 
disinfecting  by  the  addition  of  crude  carbolic  acid  in  the 
proportion  of  one  gallon  of  the  acid  to  nineteen  gallons 
of  the  dip. 

These  regulations  shall  apply  to  feeding  stations,  load- 
ing pens  and  chutes  at  all  railroad  stations,  as  well  as 

tc  the  premises  of  private  individuals.

in  quarantine  until  the  same  shall  be  duly  appraised, 
as  provided  for  in  section  two  of  “An  act  to  amend  an 
act  entitled,  ‘An  act  to  revise  the  la.w  in  relation  to  the

proved June  27,  1 885,  in  force  July  1,  1885,”  (Approved

into  consideration  the  price  obtainable  for  such  an  ani- 
mal if  condemned  and  to  be  converted  into  material  not 
used  for  human  food.  If  such  an  appraised  animal  is 
passed  by  the  duly  authorized  veterinarian,  after  slaugh- 
ter, as  fit  for  human  food,  then  this  appraisal  shall  be

ants to  be  designated  by  this  board,  an  officer  appointed 
by  the  Board  of  Health  of  the  City  of  Chicago,  and  a 
representative  of  the  Chicago  Live  Stock  Exchange.  All 
condemned  carcasses  shall  be  immediately  tanked  and 
rendered  unfit  for  food,  under  the  supervision  of  a State 
Agent  of  the  board,  'who  shall  report  to  the  State  Veter- 
inarian, or  Assistant  Veterinarian,  and  also  to  the  Sec- 
retary of  the  Chicago  Live  Stock  Exchange,  the  num- 
ber of  carcasses  tanked.  All  carcasses  found  after

of  the  owner  or  his  agent. 

Rule  11.  Nothing’  in  the  above  rules  shall  be  construed 
as  abrogating  the  right  of  the  State  Board  of  Live  Stock 
Commissioners,  or  its  agents,  to  make  such  inspection  of- 
the  yards  as  they  may  desire,  for  the  purpose  of  ascer- 
taining whether  all  cattle  afflicted  with  actinomycosis  or 
other  diseases  that  might  render  the  flesh  of  the  animal 
unfit  for  human  food,  are  duly  reported  to  the  Chief 
Veterinary  Inspector  and  subsequently  rendered  unfit 
for  food.

LIVE  STOCK  STOCK  SANITARY  LEGIS- 
LATION. 


FOR  THE  SUPPRESSION  AND  PREVENTION  OF  THE 
SPREAD  OF  CONTAGIOUS  AND  INFECTIOUS 
DISEASES  AMONG  DOMESTIC  ANIMALS. 


“AN  ACT  to  revise  the  law  in  relation  to  the  suppression 
and  prevention  of  the  spread  of  contagious  and  infec- 
tious diseases  among  domestic  animals ” approved 
June  27,  1885,  in  force  July  1,  1885,  as  amended  by  an 
Act  approved  and  in  ' force  April  20,  1887,  and  an  Act 
approved  June  15,  1887 , in  force  July  1,  1887. 

Section  1.  Be  it  enacted  by  the  People  of  the  State 
of  Illinois,  represented  in  the  General  Assembly : That 

the  Governor  shall,  with  the  advice  and  consent  of  the 
Senate,  appoint  three  practical  stock  breeders,  not  more 
than  two  of  whom  shall  be  members  of  the  same  politi- 
cal party,  who  shall  constitute  a Board  of  Live  Stock 
Commissioners,  who  shall  hold  their  office  in  the  order 
in  wiiich  they  are  named,  the  first  for  one  year,  the 
second  for  two  years,  and  the  third  for  three  years,  and 
their  successors  in  office  shall  be  appointed  for  three 
years  each.  Before  entering  on  the  duties  of  their  office 
they  shall  take  and  subscribe  to  an  oath  of  office  for  the 
faithful  performance  of  their  duties  as  such  commis- 
sioners, and  shall  file  the  same  with  the  Governor. 

§ 2.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  said  Board  of  Com- 
missioners to  cause  to  be  investigated  any  and  all  cases, 
or  alleged  cases,  coming  to  their  knowledge  of  contag- 
ious or  infectious  diseases  among  domestic  animals,  and 
to  use  all  proper  means  to  prevent  the  spread  of  such 
diseases,  and  to  provide  for  the  extirpation  thereof ; and 
in  the  event  of  reasonable  ground  for  the  belief  that  any 
such  contagious  or  infectious  disease  has  broken  out  in 
this  State,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  person  owning 
or  having  in  charge  any  animal  or  animals  infected  with 
disease,  or  any  other  person  having  knowledge  or  reason 
to  suspect  the  existence  of  such  disease,  to  immediately 
notify  said  Board  of  Commissioners,  or  some  member 
thereof,  by  communication  to  said  board,  of  the  exis- 


46 


tenee  of  such  disease,  and  thereupon  it  shall  be  the 
duty  of  said  board,  or  some  member  thereof,  or  author- 
ized agent  of  the  board,  immediately  to  cause  proper 
examination  thereof  to  be  made,  and  if  said  disease 
shall  be  found  to  be  a dangerously  contagious  or  dan- 
gerously infectious  malady,  said  board  or.  any  member 
thereof,  or  the  State  Veterinarian  or  any  Assistant  Vet- 
erinarian, shall  order  said  diseased  animals,  and  such 
as  have  been  exposed  to  contagion,  and  the  premises  in 
which  they  are,  to  be  strictly  quarantined  for  such  time 
as  the  board,  or  any  member  thereof,  or  such  veterinarian 
may  deem  necessary,  in  charge  of  such  person  as  the 
board,  or  any  member  thereof,  or  such  veterinarian  shall 
designate ; and  they  shall  have  power  to  order  any 
premises  and  farms  where  the  disease  exists,  or  has 
recently  existed,  as  well  as  exposed  premises  and  farms, 
to  be  put  in  quarantine  so  that  no  domestic  animal  which 
has  been,  or  is  so  diseased,  or  has  been  exposed  to  such 
contagious  or  infectious  disease,  be  removed  from  the 
places  so  quarantine,  nor  allow  any  healthly  animal  to 
be  brought  therein,  except  under  such  rule  or  regulation 
as  the  said  board  may  prescribe  ; and  said  board  shall 
prescribe  such  regulations  as  they  may  deem  necessary 
to  prevent  such  disease  from  being  communicated  in 
any  way  from  the  places  quarantined.  In  all  such  cases 
of  contagious  and  infectious  diseases,  the  said  board,  or, 
in  case  the  number  of  animals  shall  not  exceed  five,  any 
member  thereof,  shall  have  power  to  order  the  slaughter 
of  all  such  diseased  and  exposed  animals.  The  said  board 
shall  have  power  to  cause  to  be  destroyed  all  barns, 
stables,  premises,  fixtures,  furniture  and  personal  prop- 
erty infected  with  any  such'  contagious  or  infectious  dis- 
ease, so  far  as  in  their  judgment  may  be  necessary  to 
prevent  the  spread  of  such  disease,  and  where  the  same 
cannot  be  properly  disinfected.  When  the  board,  upon 
the  written  report  of  the  State  Veterinarian,  or  any  of 
his  assistants,  determine  that  any  animal  is  affected  with, 
or  has  been  exposed  to,  any  dangerously  contagious  or  in- 
fectious disease,  the  board,  or  any  member  thereof,  may 
agree  with  the  owner  upon  the  value  of  such  animal  or 
property,  and  in  case  such  agreement  cannot  be  made, 
said  board,  or  the  member  acting  in  behalf  of  the  board, 
may  appoint  three  disinterested  citizens  of  the  State  to 
appraise  such  diseased  animal  or  exposed  animals  or 
property.  Such  appraisers  shall  subscribe  to  an  oath  in 
writing  to  fairly  value  such  animal  in  accordance  with 
the  requirements  of  this  act,  which  oath,  together  with 
the  valuation  fixed  by  said  appraisers,  shall  be  filed  with 


47 


the  board,  and  be  preserved  by  them.  Upon  such  ap- 
praisement being  made  it  shall  become  the  duty  of  the 
owner  to  immediately  destroy  such  animal  and  dispose 
of  the  same  in  accordance  with  the  order  of  said  board, 
or  member  thereof,  and  upon  failure  to  so  do,  said  board, 
or  any  member  thereof,  shall  cause  such  animal  or  ani- 
mals or  property  to  be  destroyed  and  disposed  of,  and 
thereupon  the  said  owner  shall  forfeit  all  right  to  re- 
ceive the  compensation  allowed  by  said  appraisers  and 
provided  for  by  this  act.  When  the  board,  upon  the 
written  opinion  of  the  State  Veterinarian,  determines  that 
any  barns,  stables,  outbuildings  or  premises  are  so  in- 
fected that  the  same  cannot  be  disinfected,  they  may 
quarantine  such  barns,  stables,  outbuildings  or  premises 
from  use  for  the  animals  that  may  be  infected  by  such 
use,  and  such  quarantine  shall  continue  until  removed 
by  the  board,  and  a violation  of  such  quarantine  shall 
be  punished  as  is  provided  for  violations  of  other  quar- 
antine by  this  act. 

§ 3.  The  Governor  shall  appoint  a competent  veterin- 
ary surgeon,  who  shall  be  known  as  the  State  Veterin- 
arian, who,  together  with  his  assistants,  shall  act  under 
the  direction  of  said  board  in  carrying  out  the  pro- 
visions of  this  act.  In  the  event  of  the  inability  of  the 
said  State  Veterinarian  to  perform  all  the  work  which 
he  may  be  directed  to  do  by  said  Board  of  Commis- 
sioners, he  may,  by  and  with  the  advice  and  consent  of 
said  board,  appoint  such  other  necessary  assistant  veter- 
inarians upon  terms  not  exceeding  that  paid  the  State 
Veterinarian.  The  State  Veterinarian  shall  receive  for 
his  services  the  sum  of  $8.00  per  day  for  each  day 
actually  employed  under  the  provisions  of  this  act,  to- 
gether with  his  necessary  traveling  expenses,  to  be  cer- 
tified-to  by  said  Board  of  Commissioners. 

§ 4.  Whenever  said  Board  of  Commissioners  shall  re- 
port to  the  Governor  that  such  diseases  have  become 
epidemic  in  certain  localities  in  other  states,  or  that 
their  condition  would  render  such  domestic  animals  liable 
to  convey  such  diseases,  he  may,  by  proclamation,  sched- 
ule such  localities  and  prohibit  the  importation  of  any 
live  stock  of  the  kind  diseased  into  the  State,  except  under 
such  regulations  as  may  be  prescribed  by  the  said  board 
and  approved  by  the  Governor.  Any  corporation  which 
shall  knowingly  transport,  receive  or  convey  such  pro- 
hibited stock,  shall  be  deemed  guilty  of  a misdemeanor, 
and  upon  conviction  thereof,  shall  be  fined  not  less  than 
$1,000.00  nor  more  than  $10,000.00  for  each  and  every 
offense,  and  shall  become  liable  for  any  and  all  damage 


48 


or  loss  that  may  be  sustained  by  any  party  or  parties,  by 
reason  of  such  importation  or  transportation  of  such 
prohibited  stock.  Such  penalty  shall  be  recovered  in  any 
county  in  this  State  into,  or  through  which  such  stock 
is  brought,  upon  information  filed  in  the  circuit  or  county 
court  of  any  such  county  or  the  superior  court  of  Cook 
county.  Any  person  who,  knowing  that  any  such  con- 
tagious or  infectious  disease  exists  among  his  domestic 
animals,  shall  conceal  such  fact,  or  knowing  of  the  ex- 
istence of  such  disease,  shall  sell  the  animal  or  animals 
so  diseased,  or  any  exposed  animal,  or  knowing  the  same, 
shall  remove  such  diseased  or  infected  animals  from  his 
premises  to  the  premises  of  another,  or  knowing  of  the 
existence  of  such  disease  or  exposure,  shall  drive  or  lead 
or  ship  the  same  by  any  car  or  steamboat  to  any  other 
place  in  or  out  of  this  State,  and  any  person  or  persons 
who  shall  bring  any  such  diseased,  or  knowingly,  shall 
bring  any  such  exposed  animal  or  animals  into  this  State 
from  another  state  ; and  any  person  or  persons  who  shall 
knowingly  buy,  receive,  sell,  convey  or  engage  in  the 
traffic  of  such  diseased  or  exposed  stock  ; and,  any  per- 
son who  shall  violate  any  quarantine  regulations  estab- 
lished under  the  provisions  of  this  act,  shall,  for  each, 
either,  any  and  all  acts  above  mentioned  in  this  section, 
be  guilty  of  a misdemeanor,  and,  on  conviction  thereof, 
or  of  any  one  of  said  acts,  shall  be  fined  in  any  sum 
not  less  than  $25.00  or  more  than  $200.00,  and  imprisoned 
in  the  county  jail  until  the  fine  and  costs  are  paid,  and 
shall  forfeit  all  right  to  the  compensation  for  any  animal 
or  property  destroyed  under  the  provisions  of  this  act. 
Any  veterinary  practitioner  having  information  of  any 
such  contagious  or  infectious  disease  in  this  State,  and 
who  shall  fail  to  promptly  report  such  knowledge  to  the 
Board  of  Live  Stock  Commissioners,  shall  be  fined  not 
exceeding  $500.00,  oy  be  imprisoned  in  the  county  jail 
not  more  than  one  year  for  each  offense. 

§ 5.  Whenever  said  board  shall  become  satisfied  that 
any  dangerously  contagious  or  infectious  disease  among 
domestic  animals  exists  throughout  any  municipality  or 
geographical  district  within  this  State,  and  in  their  judg- 
ment it  is  necessary  to  quarantine  such  municipality  or 
geographical  district  in  order  to  prevent  the  spread  of 
such  disease  into  contiguous  territory,  they  shall  report 
the  same  to  the  Governor,  who  may  thereupon  by  proc- 
lamation schedule  and  quarantine  such  district,  prohibit- 
ing all  domestic  animals  of  the  kind  diseased  within  such 
district  from  being  moved  from  one  premises  to  another 
or  over  any  public  highway  or  any  unfenced  lot  or  piece 


49 


of  ground,  or  from  being  brought  into,  or  taken  from  such 
infected  district,  except  upon  obtaining  a special  permit, 
signed  by  the  Board  of  Live  Stock  Commissioners,  or 
member  thereof,  or  agent  or  officer  of  the  board  duly 
authorized  by  it  to  issue  such  permits ; and  such  proc- 
lamation shall  from  the  time  of  its  publication  bind  all 
persons.  After  the  publication  of  the  aforesaid  procla- 
mation, it  shall  be  the  duty  of  every  person  who  owns, 
or  is  in  charge  of  animals  of  the  kind  diseased  within 
the  scheduled  district  to  report  to  said  board  within  one 
week  the  number  and  description  of  such  animals,  loca- 
tion, and  the  name  and  address  of  the  owner,  and  during 
the  continuance  of  such  quarantine  to  report  to  said 
board  all  cases  of  sickness,  deaths  or  births  among  such 
animals.  It  shall  also  be  the  duty  of  any  and  all  per- 
sons within  the  scheduled  district  receiving,  having  and 
purchasing  cattle  for  slaughter,  to  delay  the  killing  of 
such  animals  until  a veterinary  surgeon,  with  authority 
from  said  board,  is  present  to  make  a post-mortem  exam- 
ination of  the  carcasses.  Any  violation  of  the  aforesaid 
quarantine  regulations  and  prescribed  duties  shall  be 
visited  with  like  penalties,  which  may  be  recovered  in 
like  manner,  as  is  provided  for  the  violation  of  other 
quarantine  as  provided  in  section  4 of  this  act : Provided , 
that  nothing  contained  in  this  section  shall  be  so  con- 
strued as  to  prevent  the  movement  of  any  animals  of  the 
kind  diseased  through  such  territory  under  such  regula- 
tions as  the  Board  of  Live  Stock  Commissioners  may  pre- 
scribe, and  the  Governor  approve:  And,  provided,  fur- 

ther, that  all  cattle  within  the  scheduled  district,  slaugh- 
tered by  order  of  the  board,  shall  not  be  taken  from  said 
district  for  slaughter. 

§ 6.  Nothing  contained  in  this  act,  or  any  section 
thereof,  shall  be  interpreted  so  as  to  prevent  the  re- 
moval or  shipment  of  diseased  or  exposed  animals,  under 
the  orders  of  the  board  created  by  this  act,  from  one 
place  to  another  by  said  board  or  its  agents,  hy  driving 
along  the  public  highway  or  shipment  on  cars  or  steam- 
boats, when,  in  the  opinion  of  said  board,  such  removal 
is  necessary  for  the  suppression  of  such  contagious  and 
infectious  disease. 

§ 7.  Whenever  quarantine  is  established  in  accord- 
ance with  the  provisions  of  section  2 of  this  act,  valid 
notice  of  the  same  may  be  given  by  leaving  with  the 
owner  or  occupant  of  any  premises  in  person,  or  deliver- 
ing to  any  member  of  his  family,  or  any  employ^ 
over  the  age  of  10  years  found  on  the  premises 
so  quarantined,  notice  thereof,  written  or  printed*  or 


partly  written  and  partly  printed,  and  at  the  same  time 
explaining  the  contents  thereof.  Such  quarantine  shall 
be  sufficiently  proven  in  any  court  by  the  production  of 
a true  copy  of  such  notice  of  quarantine  with  a return 
thereon  of  the  service  of  the  same  in  the  manner  above 
required.  Any  person  violating  said  quarantine  shall  be 
guilty  of  a misdemeanor  and  punished  as  is  provided  for 
in  section  4 of  this  act,  and,  on  conviction,  shall  be 

liable  for  all  damage  that  may  result  to  other  persons 

in  consequence  of  such  violation  : Provided,  that  any  one 

feeling  himself  aggrieved  by  such  quarantine  may  appeal 
to  the  full  board  of  commissioners,  who  shall  there- 
upon sustain,  modify  or  annul  said  quarantine,  as  they 
deem  proper. 

§ 8.  All  fines  recovered  under  the  provisions  of  this 
act  shall  be  paid  into  the  county  treasury  of  the  county 
in  which  the  suit  is  tried,  by  the  person  collecting  the 
same,  Mil  the  manner  now  provided  by  law,  to  be  used 

for  county  purposes ; and  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the 

State’s  Attorneys  in  their  respective  counties  to  prosecute 
for  all  violations  of  this  act. 

§ 9.  All  claims  against  the  State  arising  from  the 
slaughter  of  animals,  as  herein  provided  for,  shall  be 
made  to  said  board  of  commissioners,  under  such  rules 
and  regulations  as  they  may  prescribe,  and  it  shall  be  the 
duty  of  said  board  of  commissioners  to  determine  the 
amount  which  shall  be  paid  in  each  case  on  account  of 
animals  so  slaughtered,  which,  in  cases  of  animals  of 
the  bovine  species,  shall  be  based  on  the  fair  cash  market 
value  thereof  for  beef,  or  for  use  for  dairy  purposes,  not 
to  exceed  $75.00  per  head;  and  in  cases  of  animals  of 
the  equine  species,  on  their  fair  cash  market  value,  not 
to  exceed  $100.00  per  head,  and  report  the  same  to  the 
Govrnor ; and  the  Governor  shall  endorse  thereon  his 
crder  to  the  State  Auditor,  who  shall  thereupon  issue 
his  warrant  on  the  State  Treasurer  for  the  same. 

§ 10.  Said  board  of  commissioners,  or  any  member 
thereof,  and  the  State  Veterinarian  and  his  assistants,  in 
the  performance  of  their  duties  under  this  act,  shall 
have  power  to  call  on  sheriffs  and  their  deputies,  con- 
stables and  peace  officers,  mayors  of  cities,  city  and 
town  marshals  and  policemen  to  assist  them  in  carrying- 
out  its  provisions,  and  it  is  hereby  made  the  duty  of  all 
such  officers  to  assist  in  carrying  out  the  provisions  of 
this  act  when  ordered  so  to  do  ; and  said  commissioners 
and  the  State  Veterinarian  and  his  assistants  shall  have, 
while  engaged  in  carrying  out  the  provisions  of  this  act, 
the  same  powers  and  protection  that  other  peace  officers 


51 


have,  and  any  such  officer  who  fails  or  refuses  to  en- 
force the  lawful  orders  and  quarantine  of  said  board,  or 
any  member  thereof,  or  any  veterinarian  acting-  under 
them,  in  the  proper  execution  of  the  powers  conferred 
by  this  act,  shall  be  deemed  guilty  of  a misdemeanor  and 
punished  as  provided  in  section  4 of  this  act. 

§ 11.  The  said  board  shall  cooperate  with  any  com- 
missioner or  other  officer  appointed  by  the  United  States 
for  the  suppression  of  contagious  diseases  among  domes- 
tic animals,  so  far  as  the  provisions  of  this  act  and  the

sioners to  keep  a record  of  all  their  acts  and  proceedings 
and  report  the  same  to  the  Governor  annually,  or  oftener,

in  such  action  to  his  own  use ; if  the  amount  of  the 
recovery  in  such  action  shall  not  equal  the  amount  pre- 
ciously paid  to  the  plaintiff  on  account  of  such  damages 
by  the  county  treasurer  or  the  town  supervisor  of  the 
proper  county  or  town,  then  the  judgment  shall  be 
entered  as  aforesaid,  for  the  use  of  such  county  or  town, 
for  the  full  amount  of  such  recovery.  Writs  of  execution 
issued  upon  such  judgments  shall  show  on  their  face

county  or  town,  and  what  portion  is  to  be  paid  to  the 
plaintiff  in  such  action,  and  the  judgment  when  collected
